“…Low motor skills, on the other hand, are linked to higher BMI and worse muscle fitness [ 31 ]. Many researchers have shown that resistance training may enhance muscular fitness [ 18 , 39 , 73 ]. Therefore, the CST participants' perceived physical competence improved following a brief intervention.…”

Purpose. This research was to see how effective and feasible school-based comprehensive strength training programs are in improving muscular fitness and perceived physical competence in Chinese male adolescents. Methods. A total of 123 participants ( 13.46 ± 0.60 years) were randomized to comprehensive strength training intervention group (CST) ( n = 62 ) and the control group (CON) ( n = 61 ). The training sessions were performed three times a week for ten weeks in CST. Muscular fitness (i.e., muscular strength, power, and muscular endurance) and perceived physical competence were assessed at initial testing and final testing. Results.The subjects in the CST significantly improved their mean performance in standing long jump ( p < 0.05 ), vertical jump ( p < 0.05 ), 1 min push-ups ( p < 0.05 ), 1 min sit-ups ( p < 0.05 ), handgrip strength ( p < 0.05 ), and perceived physical competence ( p < 0.05 ) after the intervention. Moreover, the CST were greater in standing long jump ( p < 0.05 ), vertical jump ( p < 0.05 ), 1 min sit-ups ( p < 0.05 ), handgrip strength ( p < 0.05 ), and perceived physical competence ( p < 0.05 ) compared to the CON, but no in 1 min push-ups ( p > 0.05 ). Conclusions. The comprehensive strength training interventions designed in this study can significantly increase male adolescents’ muscular fitness, especially in the lower extremity muscle power and abdominal core endurance, and can enhance their perceived physical competence.

“…Physical education should try to make every child physically, cognitively, and emotionally healthy, as well as to develop personal and social traits in him, allowing him to live happily with others and develop as a good citizen. As a result, an individual's health fitness can be enhanced through different variety of programmes [1].…”

“…Many gyms and fitness facilities with a group workout programme offer step aerobics programmes. Previously Aerobic exercise and resistance training was investigated obese adolescents on the selected health related physical fitness parameters [1]. Hence, in our knowledge so far there is no investigation on the topic.…”

Background: Aerobics exercise training and kettlebell training is recommended to prevent and control overweight/obesity. Purpose: The aim of the this research is to assess the improvement in various variables related to health fitness among obese adults on administrating a twelve weeks aerobics exercise training and kettlebell training. Materials and Methods: Total sixty male adults with obese (Mean ± SD; age: 18.92 ± 1.54 yrs.; height: 172.4 ± 5.4 cm.; weight: 84.4 ± 6.3 kg) were randomly allocated into three equal (n = 20) groups: Aerobic Exercise Training (AET), Kettlebell Training (KBT) and a control group. The AET & KBT training protocol was performed three days per week for 12 weeks. All the selected variables of physical fitness has been examined at baseline and 12 weeks. Control group does not perform any exercise. Analysis and findings: There were significant difference in terms of Flexibility (F), Muscular Endurance (ME), Muscular Strength (MS) and Cardiovascular Endurance (CE), between the AETG & KBTG have been compared with control group (p < 0.05). Body Composition (BF) significant reductions in AET & KBT groups have been compared with control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that AET & KBT protocols have greater effects than control group on health related physical fitness variables in obese male adult individuals. It is recommended that schools and colleges should administrate the aerobic exercise session and kettlebell training among adults for better health perspectives.

“…In contrast, after a 10-week lower-body training intervention, which included mainly jump-type exercises, no significant difference ( p = 0.458) was observed in the change in handgrip strength between the control (pre-post change; 1.0 kg) and intervention (pre-post change; 0.7 kg) groups [ 39 ]. Similarly, despite a significant change in aerobic capacity after a 12-week concurrent training (moderate-intensity treadmill running training combined with resistance training (MICT + RT) or high-intensity treadmill interval training combined with resistance training (HIIT + RT)) intervention, handgrip strength did not change in the intervention (pre-post change; MICT + RT = −1.1 kg and HIIT + RT = 0.9 kg) and control (pre-post change: −1.3 kg) groups [ 40 ]. Previous studies reported increased muscle strength of the untrained upper extremities due to resistance training of the lower extremities (called the cross-education or cross-transfer effect) [ 41 , 42 ].…”

Children with Low Handgrip Strength: A Narrative Review of Possible Exercise Strategies to Improve Its Development

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Handgrip strength (HGS) is a predictor of health in both children and adults. Evidence suggests that without a possible strategy, children with low HGS may become adults with low HGS. However, little is known about what strategies are effective for children with low HGS to achieve a higher baseline level in adulthood. This narrative review aimed to investigate whether physical exercise interventions could improve HGS in children. Methods: The relevant databases/search engine was searched using keywords related to the main topics discussed throughout this review. Results: Our findings suggest that it may not be possible to improve HGS over that observed from normal development with physical education or traditional resistance-training programs. However, if the training program includes exercises that directly stimulate the forearm/hand muscle groups to grip, it may be possible to obtain changes in HGS that exceed the changes due to normal developmental growth. Conclusion: Although there are associations between HGS and markers of health, no research could be identified that examined whether increasing HGS would lead to an improvement in health. If an increase in HGS really does represent an improvement in long-term health, then gripping exercise may need to be included into physical activity programs during the growth/development phase.
